The problem is every 7-11 store employee is in grave danger with this stupid policy.

Stephanie Dilyard has already raised $45k on Go Fund Me.

Yeah, well I am not planning on working for 7-11, and don't particularly like the policy. But I have already stated that.

 

[FireFly]

Truth be known, most convenience stores have policies to not accept large denomination bills.

But that policy still didn't protect Stephanie Dilyard from life threatning attack that she had to defend with deadly force.

No argument from here--just stating a fact.

18-year-old female 7-Eleven clerk Jaedynn Anthony, was stabbed to death in Oklahoma City 7-11 on October 2024.

Anthony Gonzalez, was arrested and charged in connection with her death. Victim: Jaedynn Anthony, an 18-year-old female clerk. 7-Eleven store in northwest Oklahoma City, near West Wilshire Boulevard and North Council Road. Early morning hours of Friday, October 18, 2024, around 2:00 AM.

Details: The suspect entered the store, acted as if he was making a purchase, demanded money with a knife once the register was open, and stabbed Anthony before fleeing on foot. She was working alone at the time.

7-11 is not protecting employees & forbids them from protecting themselves. This policy must end.

You shouldn't have gone there ^^^. Mods take a dim view of this.

In post #8 when he says "you ******* piece of shit" he has implicated MY Mother. !

That's a stretch. Using the word is not a stretch. Like I said in my last post, you sound like you've got a chip on your shoulder today and I really DGAF. I posted as a public service.

 

[Stryder50]

He wouldn't have been choking her out if she had taken the money and called the cops when he left, which is what the policy requires and she failed to do.

Him attempting to choke her death, and her having to shoot him to get him to stop, is why they have the ******* policy, dumbass,

Is that to protect the criminals and thieves "dumbass" ?
OR to enable crime and assaults against the company's employees ?

CLUE: The employer has an implied obligation to provide for the safety and protection of their employees. Failing that then the employees have a Right to protect themselves. QED

 

[Bitterhook]

Neither, but you are incorrigible and haven't really listened to anything, so just keep on making shit up and pretending you need to ask again. The answer hasn't changed.

Edit: And thanks for hitting Fake News, because it just earned me 100 Trophy Points, dumbass

Yet if Poster A calls Poster B a "Son of a *****.", What has Poster A said about Poster B's mother.
Think on it if you have to.
My beef with punkass new member "Bitterhook" is that he's playing that same old invalid canard that criminals only do the crimes they do because some innocent person made them do it.

To continue ...

This gal in the store merely told him the bill he had was counterfeit.

She didn't say, or imply, that he is the one who made the counterfeit, nor that he was knowingly trying to pass a counterfeit bill.

Had this punk been an intelligent, reasonable, and law-abiding citizen, he might have either left to go find and deal with the person who gave him the counterfeit, or been willing to wait for the police to arrive and help them with their investigation of the source of the counterfeit bill.

That this punk-ass attacked the clerk showed;
1) He knew he was trying to pass a counterfeit bill ...
2) He has no regard for any human lives that prevent him from his criminal engagement/actions.

Anyone who is arguing here in favor of the punk criminal over the assaulted clerk is in my mind also of the same low status and value as that punk criminal who got shot!

QED !

 

[JGalt]

Are you really as stupid as you seem ?
Or just defending a fellow criminal ?

What part of this: "he came behind the counter, wrapped his hands around her throat and began chocking her." do you fail to see as 'Assault with intent to kill' which is more than just a "fight", but a struggle to defend oneself from being murdered.

Too bad your mother didn't abort you !

I'm not defending the store's policies and good for her for shooting that SOB. But I work for one of Wisconsin's and Minnesota's largest chain of convenience stores and their weapons policies suck. They won't even allow their employees to carry a pocket knife of any kind, even one with a small 2" blade. Even so, I carry a 4" spring-loaded Gerber and a multi-tool on my keychain. What they don't know won't hurt them.

The hell of it is, prior to going to work for that company, I carried a Glock 19 with two spare mags every day since 2011. Even with the IWB Milt Sparks holster I use, there's no way I could conceal that under the thin uniform the company provides. So I keep it in the glove box in the parking lot, which makes it pretty much useless.

The company I work for does allow it's employees to fight an attacker, especially after one of them was stabbed to death in March 2025 by some deranged customer at one of their stores in Minnesota. After that stabbing, the company added to their policies the allowable use of spraying a potent industrial cleaner in someone's face if needed.

Thank you for showing the depth of depravity of most of "corporate Amerika" towards it's employees and the need for them to have self-protection !

There is a level of civic disloyalty between these corporate standards and the endangerment of their employees that has no ethical or legal bearing in our culture.

Should be a law that says private corporations can-not impinge upon the self-protection of their employees, especially when Corporate declines to provide a full measure of protection.

Until corporate can provide a fully trained, legal, armed security guard to all employees/places of operation, then the employee should have a Right and latitude to protect themselves.

7-11 has had a 'no fight' policy for quite some time, and it requires employees not to attempt to fight with dangerous customers and call the cops instead, preferably after the customer has left. The police will have video surveillance of the encounters to work with.

And yes, at the risk of giving up too much information, if you walk into a 7-11 and go to the beer cooler grabbing a 30 pack and walk out the door, if the employees are doing as they have been instructed, they won't stop you.

Having a policy that requires employees to not intervene if someone is shoplifting or attempting to do so, is NOT the same thing as someone physically threatening your LIFE by choking you.

I am glad this employee had the means to defend her life with an effective tool (a firearm) even if having it was a policy violation that got her fired.

Her life is far more important than any job, if to no one else, other than herself. Kudos to her.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

At three o'clock in the morning Stephania Dilyard was alone working her graveyard shift at 7-11 when a man walked in trying to pass off a counterfeit one-hundred-dollar bill. When she refused to take the fake cash he came behind the counter, wrapped his hands around her throat and began chocking her. She pulled out her gun and shot the SOB. 7-11 then fired her for protecting her life. I don't know about you, but this has got me pissed off. I will be calling the 7-11 head office in Texas as soon as it opens and you should too. 800-255-0711

I admire your willingness to do this, but they're not going to change their policy because it's generally a requirement surrounding liability that's attached to their insurance policy.

Yeah except you keep skipping over the part where she would have had to provide change for the fake $100 bill which was effectively robbing the store.

I realize that it's not her money but it's difficult at times to just comply with people who are by their actions, implicating you and making you a part of their criminal act (giving real money as change for a counterfeit $100 bill).

People sometimes get tired of being victimized, both personally and on behalf of their employer.

You are free to imply things right back, but yeah, an explicit attack on family members is a sure way to ban land.

You are a great member, just follow the rules and ignore the trolls.

 

[Jarlaxle]

So she should have just given change for the counterfeit 100?

Serious question: might that expose HER to criminal liability?

There is a case of a clerk doing what you suggest, and it resulted in the death of George Floyd.

Care to enlighten us on how that turned out ....

Dead thug, bad cop in prison.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Store employees are trained to not accept counterfeit bills and to call the police if they suspect a bill is fake. The employee should refuse the transaction and ask the customer for real money, while also calling law enforcement to investigate. The suspect bill should not be accepted or returned to the customer. Keep the bill in a safe place until the police arrive.

Of course, that might have set him off anyway.

I've a friend who saw a couple of guys doing something like this from a Home Depot a few years ago.
He followed them to their car, then shot out two of their tires.
He might have reported their thefts to the police.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

Lawyers. If an employee shoots someone, the company's liability is unlimited.

I think that depends upon the circumstances and State laws.
If the employee isn't on company property and/or acting as an agent of the company, then the company isn't on the hook.
In the case that started this thread, "7-11" did NOT protect their employee from harm by other persons, therefore the company has liability to the employee, not the victim.

Clear there is a need for State Laws that more precisely set standards on these matters.

I would go so far to say he was a "bad cop." He was only following protocol and unfortunately Floyd's system was weakened from his drug use.
